UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ---------------------------------------------------------------X ORIELLA ELIZABETH ST LOUIS,

Plaintiff, ORD ER A D O PTING REPORT & RECOMMENDATION -against- 23-CV-6373 (RER) (TAM) SUGAR RUSH INC., d/b/a MUR RESTAURANT, TRU BY MUR INC., d/b/a MUR RESTAURANT, and IGOR FAZYLOV,

Defendants. ---------------------------------------------------------------X RAMÓN E. REYES, JR., United States District Judge:

In a report and recommendation dated August 18, 2025, (ECF No. 43 (the “R&R”)), Magistrate Judge Taryn A. Merkl recommended that the Court grant in part and deny in part the motion for default judgment. (Id.) Specifically, Judge Merkl recommended (1) dismissal without prejudice of Plaintiff’s claims under the New York Labor Law for wage notice and wage statement violations; and (2) entry of default judgment in Plaintiff’s favor on the remaining claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law. (Id.) Judge Merkl advised the parties that they had 14 days from the date that R&R was received to file objections. (Id.). To date, neither party has filed an objection to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, adopts the R&R in its entirety. See Covey v. Simonton, 481 F. Supp. 2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007). Therefore, it is ordered that the R&R is adopted in its entirety. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff consistent with the R&R and to close this case. SO ORDERED.
